2011
has been a fabulous year for new hairstyles and new hair shade trends.
Whilst we have seen the re-creations of many vintage styles and the
simple ponytail has made it’s comeback, we have mainly been talking
about hair shade trends this year. The choice of your shade has also
become a huge statement with new vibrant colours, dip dye and the ombre
look having all been super popular in 2011.
Ombre
There
have been many celebs who have tried this shade trend, some look
gorgeous but this is a tricky look than can go a little wrong if the
shades are not chosen carefully! Mila Kunis, Lauren Conrad and Caroline
Flack are huge stars of the year who have worked the look perfectly.
Mila Kunis choose to keep her natural very dark base and added a subtle
lighter brown through the tips of her hair and Caroline Flack, whose
base is a little lighter, chose a darker blonde for her ombre tips!
Lauren has been the most inventive with her ombre style in 2011; She
first chose to create the look from her natural dark blonde fading to a
super bright blonde. After this shade trend, Lauren Conrad chose to
embrace yet another of last years big hair trends with her Dip Dye
locks.
Dip Dye
We
have seen this shade trend throughout the summer and autumn of 2011,
but it seems to be a trend that isn’t going away as it featured in many
SS12 LFW shows ... PPQ being just one of them. Lauren Conrad was the
first to cause a stir with this trend when she added multi coloured
flicks to her lightened ombre sections; the style looked gorgeous, but
this would have been very hard to maintain! She later decided to dye all
her tips using a stunning peach toned shade. Peaches Geldof also took
on this trend by adding a gorgeous turquoise blue shade to her honey
blonde hair and Nicki Minaj is a huge fan of this shade trend, often
choosing more than one!
Vibrant shades
Most
famously this shade trend has been seen on Rihanna, but this has been
adopted by many more celebs such as Katy Perry, Hayley Williams and
Jessie J this year. The vibrant look this season has seen shades such as
blues, reds, pinks, purples and even green and orange hues becoming
increasingly popular - these celebs have been using these shades not
only to dip dye the ends, but to use as a base shade! Jessie J started
first embrace this hair trend by changing her normally jet black locks
to a gorgeous purple shade before trying a myriad of dip dye and all
over vibrant shades. Hayley Williams has always been known for her
bright orange hair, but she has tried out a variety or red and orange
shades throughout 2011.
These
shade trends have been huge in 2011, but looking at the spring summer
catwalks for 2012 we are sure many of these will be staying with us
throughout the coming year :)
